Scenario is... a real estate agent has a potential development site for sale and a buyer wants to control it through a no money down deal. Eg Options, JV etc.
Does it breach any of the real estate code if the buyer offers to pay for the RE commission instead of the seller. Buyer pays agents commission upon unconditional contract rather settlement. Unconditional would say be 2 weeks and settlement 6 months.
To get the agent to push your offer he would need to get paid sooner and more $ than a sale the traditional sale when the seller paying commission.
Site is for sale for $1m so plenty of upside after a DA. $25k in agents commission is negligible in the scheme of things.
Anyone used this and legal?
